DVD Review "TOMMY BOY: Holy Schnike Edition" Score B+89%
Classic comedy and Chris Farley's best work in his short career. Its a real shame that he died so young and didn't get the chance to make any more comedies of this caliber. Out of everything he did in his short time here this is probably the best thing he got to do. This was written for him and David Spade particularly and alot of it during production, much of it was developed from their real life interactions and dealings with each other. They were being groomed to be the next great comedy duo like, Laural and Hardy, or Abbott and Costello or Martin and Lewis, however they never really had much of a chance to do so with only a few projects together before he died. There are some really great comedic scenes in this one. The entire supporting cast does a great job in their respective roles. If you haven't seen it.... run out and do so and laugh. "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" is now a piece of history and people know what it from. Really a comic genius who burnt his candle out much like his idol John Belushi. So catch what I think is his greatest comedy performance as he is "Tommy Boy" not just Chris Farley. He is a goofy love able childlike chubby buddy who can make us all smile a little more.
